Dachpappe Recycling Deutschland, Country Manager

Dachpappe Recycling is a new innovative company that belongs to a Danish company group. Dachpappe Recycling offers unique services in the niche sector of recycling of bituminous roofing felt. In addition to receiving waste, the main activities include processing and reuse of roofing felt as a bituminous secondary raw material in the asphalt industry. Every year in Germany there are approx. 200.000 tons of roofing felt waste. It is expected that Dachpappe Recycling will collect 100.000 tons pr. year when fully established. Dachpappe Recycling has successful plants established in Denmark, Sweden and Finland and already takes in roofing felt and sells BitumenMix to asphalt plants in Germany. Three companies are established in Brandenburg, Thüringen and Niedersachsen. Three more are planned to cover the South of Germany.

For the development of our business activities in Germany, we are looking for a country manager and shareholder. The new Country Manager (CM) will be responsible for the total market strategy for Germany, rolling out the concept and establishing geographic entities with their own management and employees. Main task will be to establish waste collection solutions on roofing felt, establish production set-up and equipment and take lead on the marketing of BitumenMix - the recycled bituminous product for asphalt production. The market for recycling and recycled products are continuously increasing and the potential for roofing felt is huge due to its high amount of bitumen that can be recycled directly in asphalt production substituting virgin bitumen. To join this business adventure, we are inviting the new CM to be shareholder in the German group. It will therefore be a priority for Dachpappe Recycling to hire a CM with an interest in investing in the company.
